The Best Chocolate Espresso Martini

Seriously the best chocolate espresso martini recipe. What could possibly be better? This martini recipe is creamy and sweet, complemented with rich dark chocolate flavors, and a sticky sweet chocolate syrup rim.

What is a Chocolate Espresso Martini

A chocolate espresso martini is a cocktail that’s made with vodka or gin and flavors of chocolate and espresso. It’s a dessert-inspired twist on the classic martini just like the hot and dirty martini is a spicy twist.

Today, we’re going to keep it simple and easy with a 4 ingredient chocolate espresso cocktail delight. You can also make this delicious Gingerbread Martini or the dessert-inspired Chocolate Cake Shot.

Espresso Chocolate Martini Ingredients

There are four simple ingredients used to make today’s chocolate espresso martini:

  1. Whipped cream vodka
  2. Espresso
  3. Chocolate liqueur
  4. Coffee liqueur

Of course, you’ll also need ice to chill this cocktail, and chocolate syrup for a delicious rim. But altogether, these simple cocktail ingredients make for a creamy, rich and dessert-worthy chocolate martini recipe with a satisfying boost of espresso.

How to Make a Chocolate Espresso Martini

  1. Rim your favorite martini glass with chocolate syrup. Here are the stemless martini glasses I used today. Now, set aside this glass for later.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. Add whipped cream vodka, espresso, chocolate liqueur, and coffee liqueur. Shake until the outside of your shaker shows condensation—that’s how you know your martini is good and chilled.
  4. Strain into the chocolate syrup rimmed martini glass. Sip and enjoy!

How to Serve

  • Toppings: I kept today’s chocolate espresso martini recipe pretty simple, but you can top yours with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and perhaps (happy sigh), chocolate covered espresso beans.
  • Chocolate rim: Coat the rim of your martini glass in chocolate syrup. It’s not only beautiful, but adds a wonderful sweetness to every sip.
  • Chocolate curls or shavings on top: You can go extra bold and make chocolate curls to top your drink.

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Chocolate Espresso Martini

Instructions 

  • Pour chocolate syrup onto a small, flat plate that’s large enough to hold the entire rim of your martini glass.
  • Holding the martini glass by the stem, turn the glass upside down and gently dip the rim into the chocolate syrup. Twist the rim of the glass through the chocolate syrup, evenly coating it. Set aside while you make the chocolate espresso martini.
  • Add all Chocolate Espresso Martini ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake until well mixed and chilled. You’ll know it’s ready when the shaker is cold and condensation forms on it.
  • Strain chocolate espresso martini mixture into the chocolate syrup-rimmed martini glass. Sip and enjoy.

Notes

Some fun things to make cocktail time easy! –>
  • Cocktail Set: love this one and have been using it overtime. Full of all the tools you need to get your drink cart ready to rock! A stainless steel shaker, a muddler, mixing spoon, jigger and so much more. I love that it’s so affordable and comes with a stylish stand to display everything.
  • Stemless Martini Glasses: something’s just so charming about these modern martini glasses. The design makes your cocktail easier to hold. These are also affordable, so you won’t have to break the bank for a fun take on martinis!
  • Large Martini Glasses: a nice quality martini glass that’s usually my preferred glass for martini enjoyment. These have nice long stems, hold a good-sized martini and look so elegant at cocktail hour. I highly recommend.
